Twas the night before Christmas;
My sister and I Were snug in our bed, With the quilts pulled up high. We made an agreement That very same day, Wanting to see Santa; Awake we would stay. Old Mr. Teddy Bear To keep us from harm; Marmalade, our sweet kitten Would keep us both warm. "Are you awake"? I asked with a yawn. "Yes, of course", she replied "I will stay up till dawn!" We never will know What happened that night, For when we got up, It was already light. And Santa had been there; Now how could that be? We both were awake At a quarter to three. We only just closed Our eyes just to rest, For the Sandman had come; A most unwanted guest. And sprinkled the grains In our eyes, so you see, We simply had to close them; And then he did flee. I'm sure he told Santa Its safe, their asleep; That's when Santa came in And right by us did creep. Next year will be different; We'll sit by the fire instead And wait up for Santa; We won't go to bed! |
